That's pretty cool, very niche yet still an interesting concept. You should try to get on the indie hackers podcast. How's the income stream on this sort of business? And it sounds like its a 1 man/woman operation where you do handle everything from support to marketing?

The About page.

Culture? You're putting the blame on the wrong people.

This is cool

hckr_newson VCs Promised to Help Black Founders – My Experience Shows a Different Reality

Technically it's not their individual money. VC money is typically a pool of money collected from wealthy individuals and funds.

hckr_newson VCs Promised to Help Black Founders – My Experience Shows a Different Reality

> the VCs just weren’t interested in her pitch

Why not? Not even 5-10 minutes of their day? I guess all the noise coming out of VCs the last few weeks is all just virtue signaling and hot air.

hckr_newson VCs Promised to Help Black Founders – My Experience Shows a Different Reality

VCs shouldn’t be the gatekeepers to capital. The game is rigged. Who gets funding is decided by arbitrary metrics, inherent biases, and already established networks. Personally I’m planning on bootstrapping my own business and don’t plan on asking a VC for a hand.

hckr_newson PimEyes: Upload Your Photo and Find Where Your Face Image Appears Online

Interesting. Do you have images and pictures of yourself publicly available online? It didn’t pull up anything for me. But now I’m worried the pics I uploaded of myself will be used and fed in to this apps data library.

hckr_newson PimEyes: Upload Your Photo and Find Where Your Face Image Appears Online

Reading the comments here, it seems like the service is hit or miss. It doesn’t seem to find anything online of pictures of me. I tried celebs and athletes, that seems to work and it actually finds and returns back the exact pictures that I uploaded.

hckr_newson U.S. Billionaire Wealth Surged During the Pandemic

What’s your point? That should stop them for advocating for a better system?

hckr_newson Ask HN: How do you deal with social isolation while working from home?

I live at my parents home at the moment. And all my siblings are here as well. I don’t as isolated I guess.

hckr_newson Ask HN: Did you take any fresh MOOCs as of 2020?

Who says he’s not doing just that? Probably funding anti-aging measures as well. All for the Ultra wealthy of course..

hckr_newson Nextdoor CEO Takes Blame for Censorship of Black Lives Matter Posts

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The platform is filled with racist Karen’s scared of a black person’s shadow. Embarrassing they don’t take more of stance against it.

hckr_newson The percentage of Americans who are employed has fallen from 61 to 51

> And $10/hr is a living wage in most of the US

Terribly disconnected comment. Most single bedroom apartments even in BFE would eat your paycheck.

hckr_newson A Google bot scrapes pricing info by adding items to carts

Strange. I think that second article was computer generated. I’ve seen programs that allow you to basically re-write an article or essay by running it through a program that replaces certain words with synonyms, and re-writes other parts of the essay. This person also has ads on their website and seems to be generating money through copying articles.

hckr_newson California accuses Cisco of job discrimination based on Indian employee's caste

Hmm excuse my ignorance. But why couldn’t someone legally change their last name to one of these? Could they really tell what family, tribe, or caste you’re from by face? I suppose regional dialect can be noticed.

I couldn’t really think of a username when I signed up and this is the first thing that came to mind. I’m willing to change it to something else.

hckr_newson Ask HN: Have any of you moved back home to save money?

Definitely go home if your folks are sane. A lot of my friends broke their leases and are back with their parents/families or siblings.

hckr_newson San Francisco Tenants Break Leases at Alarming Rates

Tell me more. I’m also in the Midwest US. Still early in my career. I’d consider London but the cost of living scares me. Also the whole Brexit thing.
